Pressure Gauge?

[Trepanist]

I am looking for an analog white face pressure gauge that has all three safety zones (green, yellow and red), similar to this pic. Anyone know where i can get one?

If it's possible, it'll be a lot easier to open op the guage display and place a custom decal in there, as it'd be near to impossible to find a real guage that has those specific details on it's display.

that's a good idea.

Thats the same method used by the guy who made my Mad Max2 gauge, works a treat.

I've been playing with small jewelry containers to make steampunk guages, they consist of a small round tin with a glass or plastic lid in an aluminum bezel. If I can dig them out I'll post a pic tomorrow. They come in several sizes. Do you have a jeweller supply store close by?

 

[Trepanist]

Another good idea! I'd like to see a pic of the jewelry box.

While digging, I found an old 110 volt line monitor that even has your color scheme!
Took some pics, but it'll have to wait until tomorrow. My 'puter's down and I'm on the daughters mini.

Puter's still misbehaving! I only get the "Dell" screen. Tried wiggling, unplugging cards, dusting, etc. My guru will redo it tonight or tomorrow. When he walks into the room, the F#*@ing thing works great!:cry
SO pics are still in a holding pattern.
Found another "guage" maker from the pet store. It's the same type of tin, with a fish charm for kitty's collar. The best part of it is the paper disk with legs that fits in the can (like a guage screen) legs hold the paper to the top of the clear cover. Easy, why didn't "I" think of it first!:unsure

that's some kind of creative perspective, cause i don't have a clue what you're referring to :confused

I'm excited to see the pics! Could make the job much more easy.

BTW, may be easier to toss the Dell, they are POS these dayz.

I'm beginning to agree on the Dell! But it works great! (when it works!)
Sorry for the cryptic reply, it'll all be clear when the pics go up.

Here's the jewelry tins, several sizes available, sold in the cases.

Here's the other thing I mentioned. Any paper cutout could easily be colored/printed for any guage style you like. easy huh?:cool Then fit into a tin oh your size preference.
Solder/glue a mounting stem or tube onto the "guage" and you're done.

I know what this is for...

And I might want one, too.

Clue me in, Daddy-o!:cool

Wow, I haven't ever seen jewelry tins like that before. Maybe it's a Northern thing

I think I'm going to just make a dial, but how do I do that with a plain photo editor? Specifically, make the crescent shape and color fills?

Thanks

If it helps here's the gauge face from the texture files.

Yes, that does help. Can i get a bigger version?

 

[Grey]

It's very small in the texture, that's already enlarged. I can make it bigger but it will just get pixelated.

 

[Trepanist]

NO problem! Thanks for the image, I can at least make out some of the text!
